Elder Holland Warns Against Advocacy for and Condoning of Transgression | "Defend Your Beliefs"

Описание: Be strong. Live the gospel faithfully even if others around you don’t live it at all.

By Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, April 2014 General Conference. For a full text version, visit ➜ https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/s...

0:33 - "I say to all and especially the youth of the Church that if you haven’t already, you will one day find yourself called upon to defend your faith"
3:04 - "...there has been a long history of rejection and a painfully high price paid by prophets and apostles, missionaries and members in every generation."
5:29 - "You may wonder if it is worth it to take a courageous moral stand in high school or to go on a mission only to have your most cherished beliefs reviled or to strive against much in society that sometimes ridicules a life of religious devotion."
6:16 - "In addition to teaching, encouraging, and cheering people on (that is the pleasant part of discipleship), from time to time these same messengers are called upon to worry, to warn, and sometimes just to weep (that is the painful part of discipleship)."
8:44 - "Sadly enough, my young friends, it is a characteristic of our age that if people want any gods at all, they want them to be gods who do not demand much..."
9:55 - "And what of those who just want to look at sin or touch it from a distance?"
10:47 - "At the zenith of His mortal ministry, Jesus said, “Love one another, as I have loved you.”
11:19 "Christlike love is the greatest need we have on this planet in part because righteousness was always supposed to accompany it."
12:14 "Pure Christlike love flowing from true righteousness can change the world."
13:19 "Defend your beliefs with courtesy and with compassion, but defend them."
